My OS is Vista 64 bit, it works well. Can I install a 32-bit version of Vista that can run alongside my existing 64 bit version.

My OS is Vista 64 bit, it works well. I have a scanner that connects to the pc via a scsi card, the card I have will not work under a 32-bit version. I could buy a 64 bit version of the map, but it is an expensive exercise, I can install a 32-bit version of Vista that can run alongside my existing 64 bit version.

Hi Paul,.

No, you can not install the 32-bit version of Windows to the sides of the 64-bit version. However, you can have a configuration dual boot (32-bit on a partition and 64-bit on another). In this case you will need two licenses, a license being dedicated to a facility only.

  • Adobe Acrobat 7 has worked well under Win 7RC1 (32 bit), cannot create Adobe PDF Port_Printer in Win7 (64 bit)

    I had Windows 7RC1 intalled Acrobat 7 (32 bit) and everything worked perfectly.  Now, I have installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7 and get an error message "Warning 20225. Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Setup was unable to create a new item: Adober PDF Port_Printer.  The PDF Adober printer may be unavailable.                "GetLastError: the operation completed successfully."

    It is just incompatible with the 64-bit version?  Information from Adobe on the said error message is not compatibile Win 7, but it certainly worked well in the 32-bit release candidate of Windows 7.

    Question

    When you try to install Adobe Creative Suite 3 on a 64-bit version of Windows, the installer returns the error message "the file AdobePDF.dll on Windows Vista CD-ROM is needed." You are given the option to search for the file.

    Reason

    Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional is installed with Design Premium, Design Standard, and Creative Suite 3 Web Premium versions. Although Adobe has tested Adobe Acrobat 8.0 (Standard and Professional) on the operating systems Microsoft Windows 64-bit running on a 64-bit processor computer, there are known limitations. For more details, see additional information.

    Solution (Windows Vista 64-bit)

    In order for Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional to be supported, the application must be updated after installation.

    1. When the error occurs, click Cancel to exit the dialog box and continue with the installation.
    2. Install Microsoft has Hot Fix, such as documented in Microsoft Knowledge Article #930627 available on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930627 Base
    3. Update Acrobat version 8.1 or later. The Acrobat update is available on the Adobe website at www.adobe.com/support/downloads/ .

    Solution (Windows 7 64-bit)

    Manually extract the 'adobepdf.dll_64 ' of the file data1.cab file before installing Acrobat. When the prompt appears, navigate to this file and select it.

    1. Navigate to the folder that contains the file setup.exe to your installation of Acrobat 8.
    2. Locate the file "data1.cab" and open it (this may require a third-party compression utility, such as WinZip).
    3. Inside the content list, locate the file "adobepdf.dll_64" and copy it to your desktop.
    4. Run the program setup.exe installation and when the prompt appears, select Browse and select the file that you copied to the desktop.
      Note: If the file cannot be selected, change the file type drown down in the dialog box to "All files", or rename the file "adobepdf.dll" by removing "_64" from the end of the file extension.

    More information

    Because the Adobe PDF printer is not supported on 64-bit operating systems, version 64 bits of the AdobePDF.dll does not get extracted during installation. So, the installation program is unable to locate him. Although Acrobat is installed, the Adobe PDF printer will not install. Following the update procedure above will address the issue.

  • 64-bit deluxe ATM actually works, you can not install

    I actually could not believe. Is Adobe really that lazy that they can't just repackage the installer so it will work on a 64-bit version of windows? Well, it seems that Yes.

    I went to my co-workers computer, which has the same version of the software than me and just copied all his computer to the (x 86) folder folder program files.

    When I tried to run, the software gave me an error that there is no database in windows, but it let me create a. Everything worked well.
    I added our company font scheme, and that they work correctly in Photoshop and Illustrator. I does not check AE, still Prime Minister, but I guess that those are fine as well.

    It looks like all you have to do is install on another computer 32-bit, and just copy the files. Someone should test on Vista too. I heard that it does not work under Vista? Sure, just that if you install elsewhere just to copy in the licensed version, uninstall you on this computer when you have finished copying.

    I hope that Adobe will get their act together and start doing these things compatible with an operating system that they claim to be obsolete. 80,000 people run our company and it seems that anyone using Photoshop will be for XP64 conversion over the next 9 months. Hmm, obsolete? I think that they do not realize that large companies do not use the latest software, not their software is really only compatible with Vista either. Laughing out loud

    Hopefully this post has helped some of you guys. I'm still laughing inside that something so simple worked.

    To understand why ATM is no longer supported, you must understand the history of the product and of its initial objective, which dates back to 1989 and the Font wars between Adobe on one side, with its technology of Type 1 fonts of PostScript and a coalition of Apple and Microsoft on the other side with their technology developed by Apple, but generously "borrowed" from the Imagen TrueType fonts a printer laser since the 1980s.

    The first version of ATM for Macintosh was released in December 1989 strictly to allow host-based copies of the Type 1 fonts to be made "on-the-fly" of the screen rather than the user having to install versions of these fonts of bitmap to listening to a resolution size and point special screen. The Windows version followed in a year or two. Indeed, blunt ATM an attempt by Apple and Microsoft to put Adobe out of business by locking the fonts Type 1 out of office. ATM allowed the fully scalable technologies of Type 1 use on Macintosh and Windows before TrueType was actually available for Macintosh or Windows. This unholy alliance of Apple and Microsoft have also pushed a clone made by Microsoft to PostScript, image, licensed Cal Bauer (this is a separate story but it goes without saying, that CloneScript was really poor and did not quickly; Apple came running back to Adobe for Adobe PostScript to their new LaserWriters without ever actually releasing a product based on Microsoft's image).

    Subsequently, Adobe released its variant Multiple Master Type 1 fonts, which provided the ability to vary the weight, width and other aspects of fonts, generation custom "instance" of policies to better the needs of the designer. ATM has been used to control the building and installation of multiple Master instances.

    Over the years, two additional features have been added to the ATM. The most recent was taken in charge of OpenType CFF fonts (i.e., fonts OpenType with Type 1 outlines) and in the "Deluxe version" of the ATM, a very basic font manager.

    Over the years, i.e. by the time Windows 2000 and Mac OS X shipped, it original for ATM was gone, because now the beginning with these versions of the operating system, Type 1 and OpenType CFF font support is native in the operating system that is based on Apple and Microsoft code Adobe individually integrating the operating system. The only goal left for ATM under Windows 2000 and Windows XP was to support the creation and installation of instances of Multiple Master fonts. Given that Adobe has stopped developing new Multiple Master back in the 1990s fonts and arrested shortly after the licenses, the need to support several masters outside of Adobe applications themselves (who always supported existing Multiple master instances, either the primary case delivered with fonts or bodies established by the user) has declined to almost nothing.

    The only function left at the ATM has been managing policies, historically, the weakest aspect of ATM Deluxe.

    Adobe would then make a decision regarding the future of the ATM. The key was the capacity of relatively small fonts management of ATM Deluxe - she provided no automatic activation, was based on the code very old which was incompatible with new versions of the OS and was quite incompatible with Adobe applications, Adobe had measure the cost of development, marketing and support a management program policies of new generation advanced competitive with other products already on the market perform similar functions. In simple terms, the decision at the time was that saw the cost of developing, marketing and supporting a type of force new, industrial, (b) Manager given the current managers of police quality required that users were actually willing to pay for such software available from third parties who appear to meet the needs of the market, and (c) has reasonable , it wasn't worth Adobe make the necessary investments to create a 'new generation' ATM.

    Could that decision be revisited someday? Perhaps although it is unlikely that such a reassessment will give a different decision. But for now, Adobe Type Manager is a product that is no longer sold or supported.

    Can constrain you ATM Lite or ATM Deluxe to install on Windows Vista 32 bit? No doubt. It will work on Vista? Maybe though we've heard mixed reports and Adobe don't support you if you mess up your system, try to use it. 64-bit Windows (XP and Vista) is another story. The setup of the ATM is a 16-bit program that simply does not work on these 64-bit systems (same is true with old Adobe Universal PostScript Printer Driver Installer). Can the ATM code itself run - Andy Engelkemier claims it does, but don't count on it properly interfacing with Adobe Creative Suite applications properly or the multiple user environment. Because the other fairly competent font manager software is readily available at a reasonable cost, you must carefully assess the value of your time by continuing to run an ancient font manager, unsupported, low functionality without future compared to the migration to the products are still developed and supported by their developers.

  • I have a computer running VISTA. The CD-ROM/DVD-rom does not work and can not read the CD of the program that I placed in it.

    It won't read a DVD.  It will not read ANY CD or DVD.  I tried 12 different CD/DVD.  This isn't an upgrade to Vista; the computer came "made for Vista" with Vista installed on it.  I had added Nero.  I removed Nero.  I did all the updates. I have not released the driver and reinstalled.  He claims to have the latest driver software, but it won't work.  The computer can see the CD/DVD, but he calls it a 'CDROM '.  It is not the case.  It is a DVD/Cd-RW with Labelflash.

    I did everything suggested that past discussions.  I ran FIXIT program that claims that the drive works properly.  It is not the case.

    I tried to get various programs to recognize.  They cannot see the installed media.

    I uninstalled iTunes.

    Please do not give me the answer of cut-and - paste stock; It does not work.

    Please tell me what to do to make Vista see the media inserted in the CD/DVD-RW drive.

    Thank you.

    Then go to right click on UNINSTALL - - CD/DVD - Device Manager CHECK THE DRIVERS to REMOVE and
    continue.

    Reset.

    Occasionally, install an upgrade or a re - install will fix the problem and of course the drive or other hardware issues
    could be at stake.

    =====================================

    Here's the answer, just in case there is something you don't have, and I start up and down.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable
    or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    You can try an In-Place Upgrade (hopefully save programs and data) or a repair installation (if all goes well
